The alternative access gate to Amuwo Odofin Junior and Senior Secondary School before it was blocked
It was gathered that the shipping firm bought the land and turned it into a bonded terminal. Another source, however, stated that it was leased, as the shipping company wanted to buy the entire complex, demanding the relocation of the schools and pupils. It was learnt that fear of a backlash of outright selling of the entire complex had informed the permit to take over a section of the school.
With the takeover of that section of the school complex, the central access gate to the four schools became blocked, while three of the schools would need alternative gates to enter their schools. New access gates were later created for Imoye Junior and Senior High Schools and Amuwo-Odofin Junior and Senior Secondary Schools.
Also, students and teachers said the access gate to Amuwo Odofin Junior and Senior High School is usually blocked by trucks. A staff of the school told The Guardian that there was a near-fatal accident recently, when a truck lost control during the closing hours. Fortunately, another stationed truck halted its movement with no casualty recorded.
